Description
Summary:Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers in Ontario were thrust into a new teaching situation at the end of the 20192020 school year for which few were prepared. To address the need for guidance in transitioning to distance teaching, we offer the e-3Cs model, a research-based framework with flexible elements essential for promoting optimum distance interactions for K12 learning, more specifically applied to younger learners (K6). Serving as a tool for designing age-appropriate digital instruction while honouring and caring for affective domain needs of students, the model provides the necessary support for teachers in the purposeful design of digital learning communities.
